A match that had everything.
Except goals.
Diego Lopez tripped Roma and gave Juventus a Christmas gift in advance.
There was no early Christmas celebration in the capital of Italy.
At least not in the blazing yellow-red Roma district, which in Trastevere, in Testaccio.
Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez fotparad put an end to the party. He saved Gervinhos trades as he repeatedly through the game saved his Milan.
So it ended 0-0 and up north, in Turin, Juventus could lead toast and nodding contentedly three-point lead before Christmas break.
“Milan robbed us not ‘
Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi was afterwards upset about the expulsion of Armero, yet in the end, even if Pippo did not want to show it fully satisfied with a draw.
In Roma camp was disappointment that much greater, after a match that they dominated but not been able to win. The yellow-red was equally good at creating situations that bad at managing them, even after it was a man more on the pitch.
That, combined with the great gameplay Lopez, did that Milan could fly home with a point.
“It feels bitter but Milan robbed us do not. We should put our chances. “
Roma goalkeeper De Sanctis words afterwards.
Words far from everyone joined in. Very came to be about Judge Nicola Rizzoli and his judgment.
The tough expulsion of Armero, but especially in criminal situation when Nigel de Jong struck the ball away with his arm, and Roma wanted criminal. Already during the match began the debate and continued after the final whistle.
On the pitch, in the changing rooms during the Olympic Stadium, but especially in the Italian football programs and Rome all
Judge Rizzoli was challenged in every possible noises and the debate will continue in Sunday’s sports magazines.
Milan in the growth phase
It is true that the Roma should have been punished. But equally true is that the home team in the end was too idéfattigt, for the unimaginative. When a great team stuck in the attacking game must be able to find alternative solutions, coaxing his way down new paths.
It did not work Roma with and it was a disappointed Rudi Garcia tonight met with reporters on the spot.
“We lost two points. And it’s an incredible judgments miss that we must not punishment. “
Instead confirmed Milan team will climb from seventh place. Much can and must even be better. Inzaghis plan for Milan starting to slowly but surely impact and the team is in a growth phase, both physically and mentally.
Add to that an Inter Roberto Mancini yesterday described as “quite clear with a chance of third place” and we may see a new season where Milan teams begin to suspect spring air.
One spring where the pressure from below will increase at Juventus, Roma and the others in the top.
The annual Christmas party at Milanello will be in a major.
But Roma’s supporters went home in a minor when the lights were extinguished at l’Olimpico.
